I don't write crack. I never have, although I have been sorely tempted. Not because I'm a snob or anything, but because I'm not really a humourous writer, IMO. But then, it happened. I'm RP-ing Ianto at a brand-new Torchwood RPG that
xtricks is setting up, and he set me off on a cracky tangent, suggesting a potential plot-line.
demotu: Ah, but you don't know that REALLY, Ianto's pregnant. From before Jack left. And he's all WOE and feeling ABANDONED and buying pink clothes but hiding them from Jack. Oh, the ANGST.
xtricks: Ah- but you see. Jack KNOWS Ianto's pregnant, because of his 51st century seekrit powers, and he's all brooding ANGST because it's ... it's the Master's baby. NOT HIS. BUT he loves the unborn ... twins! because they're IANTO's, who he loves with all the strength of all the puppies and flowers in the world. And the babies will have TIMELORD powers. And later there'll be Uncle DOCTOR and the Master will be re-deemed and the babies' godfather and the TIMELORD race will be reborn!
demotu: *feels a crackfic coming on*
And it went something like this:
( click for the time babies )O_o It was supposed to be a short concept. I got to "YAN-YAN" and realized I was in great danger of actually writing a whole fic, and ended in in absolute terror of that becoming true. God damn it, I should be studying, not writing crack!fic.
PS: Okay, yeah, the initial suggestion by me? Not actually what the RPG's about. In case anyone thought it was. Because, as I'm sure you're all aware,
xtricks did write tentacle-porn, and you know, he's never going to live that one down.
